In response to growing demand from customers across Europe, private and corporate jet charter company KlasJet has chosen Milan Malpensa Airport in Italy to base one of its Boeing 737s.
The airport’s strategic location as a hub for both domestic and international travel and the various sporting events that take place in close proximity to the regional airport were key factors in KlasJet’s decision to reallocate its 737 to the Italian airport.
“The location allows fast access to major European hubs, while providing effective connectivity and quick access to other Italian cities,” said Valeria Prilipko, Sales Development Manager at KlasJet. “Having a high concentration of businesses, elite sports teams, fashion and cultural events in the region, Milan is becoming one of the most active cities for operations for KlasJet,” she added.
Demand for VIP charter flights increases during the summer season, when people travel extensively for holidays and major sporting events, including Formula One and MotoGP events.
With its Boeing 737 offering a 68-seat business-class configuration, KlasJet already has contracts in place with several major sporting teams. Prilipko explained that chartered flights are popular among sports teams, but also fans due to the flexibility and comfort. The company’s presence in Milan, she said, will enable it to offer more flexible services.
“For example, last year we organised a series of flights for Tour de France fans, who were following the cyclists on a KlasJet plane. The same principle could be applied to any motorsports event. We can even offer a special Formula 1 race package. Every stage takes place in a different city and KlasJet can plan a dedicated route for clients who want to watch them live,” she said.
